Watsons Bay, promenade

The promenade behind the harbourside beach in the eastern suburb of Watsons Bay, bathed in the golden glow of sunset. The are two famous landmarks here with brilliant views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. Doyle's On The Beach is a seafood restaurant on the left and Watsons Bay Hotel is a pub with a beer garden on the right. This was only a couple of weeks ago when we were having unseasonally warm weather and it felt like Summer was still hanging around. We've have a dose of reality since then with rain and a cold snap bringing us back into Autumn.

  2. I visited Watson's Bay for the first time last year. I loved it and it was nothing like I imagined. How much nicer it would have been to arrive by tram along the cliff though.

  9. When we were staying with our daughter at Vaucluse a couple of weeks ago, we walked there for coffee at the hotel then back again. The walk along the cliff-top was fabulous. (The coffee wasn't bad either).
